I think maybe the software is limited and not built for this.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It seems that Ansys Thermal-Electric can only run a single line of bus bar run with one input (amperage applied) and one output(voltage grounded 0V). Unless the model is symetric about the inputs and outpus you can not have multiple equal inputs and equal outputs behave correctly. Ansys Thermal Electric does not allow you to specify exact values of current inputs and outputs at the same time without throwing an error. From what I have seen after solving is that the current will get pulled from the closest output or similarly pulled from the closest input and not distribute among the outputs evenly as needed.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I need help finding a way to force the inputs to be a certain amperage supply and force the outputs to draw a known amperage value. If i am not using the correct Ansys tool for this please let me know what i should be using.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have multiple equal inputs(amperage input known and constant) and i have multiple outputs(amperage output value known and constant).&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-396169","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Im running into an issue using Ansys Thermal-Electric for Bus Bar Design.
